Scores of people stormed the pitch after Kaizer Chiefs lost the match. Several fires were also lit in the stadium, while seats were also ripped from the stands and hurled onto the playing area.
Angry supporters were also shown on live television kicking and assaulting security officials.
Dennis Nyembe joined 10 others in the dock at the Durban Regional Court today.
